China reports just 1 new domestic virus case, 20 more imported

TUESDAY MARCH 17 2020

China reported on Tuesday just one new domestic coronavirus infection but found 20 more cases imported from abroad, threatening to spoil its progress against the disease.

The single case in Wuhan will boost China's view that it has "basically curbed" the spread of a disease that is believed to have emerged in a live animal market in the central city in December.

Wuhan and its 11 million people were placed under strict quarantine on January 23, with the rest of Hubei province going under lockdown in the following days.

Authorities tightened restrictions in the city even further on February 11, confining people to their homes as health workers faced a daily deluge of well over 1,000 cases -- a move officials say was critical in containing the virus.

Other cities across the country enacted further measures to compel most people to stay indoors, and no new domestic infections have been detected outside Hubei for many days in a row.

But the country is now concerned about an influx of cases from abroad, with an average of 20,000 people flying into China every day.

I think Trump will surrender. But liberal states will disobey implement their own quarantine. Once Italy succeeded in beating the virus, EU citizen will try to seek refuge there.
 
Experts say that Wuhan new cases will fall to zero in a couple of days, hence the whole country of China will become domestic coronavirus free.
The virus is there. Unless you kill the virus to last one, how can the infection fall to zero?

There is no vaccine yet to prevent the infection.
